The two of them squatted in the labor market until evening, and the afterglow of the remnant sun swayed the western col into a drunken red color, and flocks of wild geese swept across the sky and flew into the unknown distance.

Xue Zilong was already a little sleepy, he had ridden a horse all night, and he hadn't eaten anything all day, he was hungry and sleepy at the moment, only Zhao Zhi was still staring at the back door of General Meng's mansion with two divine eyes, waiting for the appearance of the prey.

"Fourth brother, what are you waiting for, seeing this, the sun is about to set, if we don't go back to Jingyunju, I'm afraid that the fourth housekeeper will let me punish the old master for copying the old master's article again, I ...... now I'm already hungry with Venus in my eyes. Xue Zilong leaned on the stone wall, his eyes looked at the sunset scenery in a daze, and his heart was melancholy, "If Cardamom is by your side at this time and you watch this sunset with me, how good it would be." ”

Xue Zilong didn't say anything, after he said this, Zhao Zhi's stomach also gurgled and said stupidly. "Soon, if you want, go to the bun shop opposite to buy two buns, and by the way, give the store some water to drink."

"Hey, okay, I'll go." As soon as Xue Zilong heard that he had something to eat, he got up like a rabbit and ran to the bun shop opposite to buy some hot buns.

Xue Zilong came back and stuffed the buns to Zhao Zhi, took out a few from them and put them in his arms, and devoured them.

"This bun...... Isn't it the same size? How are you still picking. Zhao Zhi picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth, and a fragrant smell of beef and shiitake mushrooms overflowed in his mouth, "Well, don't say it, when people are hungry, even the buns are delicious." ”

"Hey, hey!" Xue Zilong smiled, revealing a green vegetable leaf between his teeth, which was clearly sandwiched between his teeth.

Zhao Zhi tilted his head and glanced at it, only to see that Xue Zilong's buns were full of green vegetable leaves, but his buns were full of oily meatballs, and he couldn't help asking, "You buy a bun, why do you buy it differently?" “

"Hey, hey, I...... I am vegetarian, and the fourth brother is meat. Xue Zilong smiled innocently.

"Why...... Give me meat, and you will be vegetarian. ”

"Because...... Let's ...... now. I don't know when I can borrow soldiers, when I will be able to return to Ziyun City, more than a dozen brothers, they have to eat every day, and the more silver taels they bring out, the less they spend. The meat buns are 3 yuan, and the vegetarian buns are 1 yuan, and I don't want to save two dollars, and the brothers who can save them go to the forest every day to catch game. ”

Zhao Zhi's heart was sour, "That...... Why did you give me meat? ”

Xue Zilong looked unconfused, and looked at Zhao Zhi stunned, "Because you are the fourth brother, in the emperor... When you were at home, you had to eat meat and drink wine every day, and now the days... Hehe, it's a bit unsatisfactory... So, let the fourth brother eat a meat bun to satisfy his hunger. ”

Zhao Zhi looked at Xue Zilong in front of him, with a sincere and satisfied look, his heart was sour like eating a green plum, he tried his best to control the mist in his eyes, grabbed the bun in Xue Zilong's arms, exchanged it with his own bun, and said with a disapproving expression, "I am tired of eating fish and meat every day, the taste of this vegetable bun is much more fragrant than beef buns, you Xue Zilong is too inauthentic, in vain I am so good to you on weekdays, such a delicious vegetable bun, you actually have a monopoly?" ”

Xue Zilong looked innocent and stammered to explain, "I'm ...... I don't know how you changed your taste today, fourth brother...... I thought it was ......"

"Haha, I'm kidding you, my commander, how can we say that we have no clothes and are in the same clothes!"

"Yes! Fourth brother! Xue Zilong's face was filled with excitement, and he stuffed buns into his mouth to fill his excitement.

……

As the two were talking, a woman with a red figure came at the end of the alley, it was Linglong!

Zhao Zhi's eyes converged instantly, a layer of coldness appeared on his good-looking face, and he pulled out a square scarf from his arms and tied it on his face, "Zilong, the rabbit is here, let's catch the rabbit!" ”

After that, the two got up, covered their faces, and walked like a woman in red at the mouth of the alley, Xue Zilong stepped forward and appeared in front of the woman in an instant, only to hear the woman scream in fright, and the basket on her arm also fell to the ground, Xue Zilong took out a cold dagger and put it on the woman's neck, "Don't scream, we only want money, as long as you are obedient, we will not want your life." ”

"Yes, yes, two heroes, I'm just a maid, I don't have anything of value on me, only these few pieces of broken silver, you want it, give it to you, please don't hurt me." Linglong trembled in fright and took out a few pieces of broken silver.

Xue Zilong glanced at it coldly, put it in his arms, turned his eyes to the basket on the ground, and asked in a dumb voice, "What is in this basket?" ”

"Yes...... It is a medicinal herb and is worthless. Linglong said timidly, looking at the basket with wandering eyes.

Zhao Zhi picked up the cloth on the basket, and a thick musk came to his face, and then looked at the others, bezoar, ginseng, cinnamon, safflower, notoginseng...... A faint sense of foreboding came through.

Zhao Zhi glanced at Xue Zilong, Xue Zilong continued to suppress his throat and asked coldly, "Are these medicinal materials precious medicinal materials, you better answer honestly, otherwise...... Don't blame my subordinates for being merciless and draw a turtle on your face! ”

"Don't don't, two masters, I said. This, this, this...... These are all medicines for women to maintain the fetus, where is it valuable. ”

"A woman has a baby? Hehe, who are you fooling, you are like this, you are not like a pregnant person, there is ginseng in this basket, and you dare to say that it is not worth much! Xue Zilong took the dagger and lightly slashed it on Linglong's face a few times.

Linglong immediately knelt on the ground in fright, crying and begging for mercy, "The two masters spare their lives, I am the maid of General Meng's mansion, and the young lady in our mansion is pregnant, is it ...... It was our second grandmother who sent me out to buy tocolytic herbs, this, you should believe it. ”

"You young ladies suspect that this is true?" Xue Zilong's eyes rolled around, and he adjusted his tone, as if he was a ruffian.

"Of course it's true, my lord has said that if the young lady gives birth to a young master, she will pass the handsome seal to General Meng Shao, this ...... Isn't it rumored that all the people in Yunzhou City have been deceived, can I still lie to you? Please, two heroes, just bypass me, a little girl, I am also a child of a poor family, but I eat in a big family...... Woowoowoo...... I still have my father and brother to raise......" As she spoke, Linglong began to cover her face and cry, looking between her fingers at the two masked men in front of her.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhi and Xue Zilong couldn't help but be shocked, it was really a scheming woman, I was afraid that if they continued to entangle, not only would they not be able to find out the news, but they would expose their identities, after all, this Linglong used to be a palace maid who served by Mrs. Wusang's side, and she had seen Zhao Zhi's true face.

The two glanced at each other and nodded silently, Xue Zilong took away the dagger, took out the ginseng in the basket, and snorted coldly in his nose, "I don't dare you lie, but ...... I still want to keep this ginseng, master, and take the rest back to honor your young lady. ”

After hearing this, Linglong thanked her again and again, picked up the basket and trotted all the way, and got into the back door of General Meng's mansion. (To be continued.) )
